hi,
i'd like to use move-resize-by-key-cursor.jl [0] to move/resize windows
without using the mouse. i normally have the cursor exiled to a corner
of the screen, so i use the above script to center it on the focused
window just before starting an interactive move (same with resize, only
cursor is moved to a corner of the window). my problem is that, although
the cursor seems to be positioned correctly at first, when i start
moving the window (using the arrow keys), it jumps back to its original
position. i've tried various focus settings, but the problem persists.
(this is debian unstable with sawfish compiled from the git repo)
any ideas?
cheers,
jao
